" ... Love that it comes with batteries. ... "
" ... It comes with everything that it states and even two batteries which allows more flying time. ... "
" ... It appears that you have about 30 seconds or less to land before it lands itself which I wouldn't recommend on low battery at high altitude. ... "
" ... And there is also extra batteries for your drone. ... "
" ... Battery charges at an acceptable speed. ... "
" ... The only down side is the battery life, but we bought the pack that has 4 batteries and a charger that will charge 4 at on time. ... "
" ... Flight for a while, battery life long! ... "
" ... Get some extra batteries if you want to keep some good air time going. ... "

" ... I give it two stars cause after flying the second time the right front trim quit working and the right front green light stopped working. ... "
" ... I got it and one of the motors stopped working within a minute, I tested it to see if it would work but even after a couple days the motor is still not working, I have to say I am disappointed with this because I was very excited to try it out ... "
" ... However, on the second day of using it, when it was flying at around 12 feet high, it all of a sudden stopped responding to the remote controller and started flying higher and higher. ... "
" ... One of the propellers stopped working suddenly less than one week after buying it. ... "
" ... I had it for three days and it was working great until the left orange motor went out. ... I haven't contacted Cheerwing yet but only after three days it is a disappointment. ... "
" ... Received a week ago waited for it to be nice out powered it up and it just took off couldn't get control of it now its gone didnt even use it 2 minutes will be requesting my money back i dont know if it was a defected product but vert disappointed do not recommend ... "
" ... This thing just not working correctly. ... "
" ... No matter how many times I have paired it, it seems to suddenly become unresponsive as soon as it takes off and immediately crashes. ... "

" ... Overall, this is affordable, great and durable drone that takes decent pics. ... "
" ... Pics and video quality is equivalent to you android users (Jk). ... "
" ... You don't have to use your phone or to take pictures or videos and when you use your phone, some quadcopters don't record or take pictures. ... "
" ... This drone has a lot of great options with two batteries and the camera for video and still shots. ... "
" ... The quality of the photos was pretty amazing. ... "
" ... Video surprisingly sharp. ... "
" ... As others have mentioned, the camera points slightly downward. ... I really don't mind this, because I usually want video or pictures of the people on the ground rather than the horizon or of the general landscape. ... I might try it in the future if I need a certain kind of shot, but I'm happy with the camera angle for now. ... "
" ... Camera is not bad at all for the price point. ... "

" ... I tried everything but the unit did not respond to the controller. ... "
" ... Just make sure the use tape to label the buttons on the controller. ... Has one button take off (rises about 8ft and holds), and one button landing. ... "
" ... This thing has no control, it just does what it wants. ... "
" ... Mine flew away and would not respond to controls. ... "
" ... I reply Press the Emergency BUTTON!!! ... "
" ... Does not have the stated range, controls are horrible, very sluggish and at times unresponsive. ... A lot of times when it paired the controls did not work properly, had to turn off and reconnect. ... This last time the drone started to get away, the controls were getting sluggish so I hit the landing button and nothing happened, I hit it again and again, trying to get it to come down, drone literally flew off into the sunset. ... "
" ... The auto-land button did NOT work and the drone stopped responding to any controls. ... "
" ... BTW, since it is turned, those trim buttons will only make it worse. ... "

" ... Edit: Flight time and Review: https://youtu.be/dAI8v3NbjQo ... "
" ... The first flight went well. ... "
" ... However, after seeing a father and son flying together at our local soccer field and witnessing dad's very first flight land the quadcopter in the top of a tree about 60 feet up, I realized our enthusiasm for flying these things would last longer if we destroyed a $50 flyer rather than a $300 one. ... My son took the controls first and had a very smooth first flight. ... "
" ... Flight time is pretty good and wind resistance is okay. ... "
" ... Charge batteries, child home from school, first flight. ... "
" ... After several flights indoors I decided to take it outside. ... "
